    Obama orders review of Russian election-related hacking

    Story highlights

    • The review is intended to be done before Donald Trump's inauguration
    • Donald Trump has repeatedly questioned Russian involvement


    Washington (CNN)President Barack Obama has ordered a full review into hacking by the Russians designed to influence the 2016 election, White House Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Adviser Lisa Monaco said Friday.

    "The President has directed the Intelligence Community to conduct a full review of what happened during the 2016 election process. It is to capture lessons learned from that and to report to a range of stakeholders," she said at a Christian Science Monitor breakfast with reporters. "This is consistent with the work that we did over the summer to engage Congress on the threats that we were seeing."

    Monaco said the administration would be mindful of the consequences of revealing the results of their review publicly. All of the Democratic senators on the Senate Intelligence Committee have called on Obama to declassify intelligence on Russia's actions during the election.

    "You want to do so very attentive to not disclosing sources and methods that would impede our ability to identify and attribute malicious actors in the future," Monaco said of disclosure.

    The review is intended to be done before Donald Trump's inauguration on January 20, Monaco said. "He expects to get a report prior to him leaving office."

    The US government before the election publicly blamed senior levels of the Russian government for cyberattacks designed to influence the outcome, including hacks of Democratic groups like the Democratic National Committee.

    A steady stream of documents and internal emails from Democratic groups and from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman were released in the weeks and months leading up to the election, with damaging consequences for Democrats.

    There was also concern about attempted attacks on...

    All this is only to deflect even more why the Democrats lost the election, and try to salvage his 'legacy'. And the fact he wants it before the inauguration so as to try and further discredit Trump's being elected. I'd be surprised if they don't find something, or at least put it in such a way that they still suspect even though they couldn't find anything.

    You lost. Get over it.

    I think as president, I would be more concerned about "WHY" there was so much dirt on their party, than who got a hold of it and shared it with the world.

    I personally think it is awesome that their darkness is being brought into the light.

    Exactly. Forget the content of what was exposed. We need to know who exposed it. Blind leading the blind.

    Let them blame the Russians, stay in the dark as to why they lost. I certainly don't want them to learn from their mistakes and win, ever again.
